HAHAHA: On Snobbery (note: this guy published a piece of his book in Commentary last month, and it was exactly as good as the review suggests):
"Turns out ... there were more varieties of balsamic vinegar than American states, possibly more virgin olive oils than actual virgins."
and:
" But he is no less right to warn against the "sour-grapes charge" that equates "elitist" with "snob." "The elitist desires the best; the snob wants other people to think he has, or is associated with, the best. Delight in excellence is easily confused with snobbery by the ignorant." "
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
